Sooo, a type of organism that can withstand and thrive in the harshest of environments is called an extremophile. Halophiles, in particular, are able to flourish in environments that have a very high concentration of salt. One example of a halophile is Chromohalobacter beijerinckii, which can be found in salted beans. The bacteria is rod-shaped and is approximately 0.4–0.6 μm by 1.8–2.5 μm. Google Images was being a butt and didn't want to give me a picture, so if requested I could draw a picture... or not... :)
